Beautiful Code Chapter Now Online

I hadn’t donated before — they’re a good cause, but there are a lot of good causes and I’ve been sending my money elsewhere. However, now that O’Reilly is effectively donating in my name, I don’t have to print my own address labels if I’m short on time: I can, without guilt, use the rather nice ones that have been arriving for free in the mail for years.
